This past week my modem died and needed to be replaced. In addition to the pain of being without WiFi for a day, I was cringing the thought of having to reset up my two Hydros aquarium controllers. Surprisingly the process couldn't have been any easier. After going to the Hydros site and search for how to setup a new modem I was taken to the following page: https://www.coralvuehydros.com/product-support/hydros-control/update-wifi-credentials/

After following the simple process, everything worked as described and all the functionality was back within a few minutes. This is exactly what I would expect from a controller. Nice work #Hydros (@Connor At CoralVue)!
 
What I did was setup the new router with the same credentials as the old one had and everything in the house reconnected without any issues including my 14 Hydros controllers and the 5 Hydros wifi devices.

Exactly! I followed "Step 2: Update WiFi Credentials on HYDROS Controllers" in the link on my previous post and everything went back to the way it was originally setup. This is the way that you would hope that it would be designed, but seemingly it never is so I was bracing for a big ordeal. Then, poof, it all worked and I was pleasantly surprised!
